What are you listening to right now?

I can't post the chords or other music materials here by Alan Cave. My choice.

Alan Cave requests that music info requests on his work and his father's go through him, and that a price be paid to help the devastated folks in Haiti. Good enough for me.


:up:
 
I found him on this album years ago

Northwestern roots give me away... Sigh. :)


(Drake Levin was one cool kid on guitar. Always. RIP.)




[Levin showed up at the Ed Sullivan Theatre to perform with Volk and Smith for the very last time, but Revere refused to allow Levin to play.[10] Unbeknownst to the group, Revere had hired a new guitar player, Freddy Weller, to perform that night. Levin graciously stepped aside and even showed Weller the chords to the songs. Levin was forced to watch the performance from the wings as the Raiders made their one and only appearance on Sullivan's show, on April 30, 1967. It was the only time that the lineup of Revere, Lindsay, Smith, Volk and Weller performed together. The following month, Volk and Smith left, subsequently rejoining Levin to form a band called Brotherhood. Charlie Coe, who had played guitar for The Raiders in 1963, rejoined the group on bass and Joe Correro, Jr. became the new drummer.]

A classic, IMHO.


"Drake Maxwell Levinshefski (August 17, 1946 – July 4, 2009) was an American musician who performed under the stage name Drake Levin. He was best known as the guitarist for Paul Revere & the Raiders."
 
Aren't little house guests the best, Amy? I am the house guest of my favorite little person in Austin this evening! She and I have heard all sorts of great local music the past couple of days. I don't remember any of their names or I would post...sorry.
 
The other night we're having dinner with some of our SBH crew here. Nice evening. Someone mentions that boat season is coming and that some friends/family are already prepping for the season (some live on their boat most of the time, in season.)

I asked one of our lurkers here for the new iPad2 she had with her and brought up this tune in honor of her sister (Donna) and husband (big time "boaters".) "How'd you do that?" "Easy, little grasshopper. It will come to you." ;)

Wow, indeed! And we have just returned from a blockbuster gospel concert at Wesleyan University. Never sat down for the entire thing. Oh Happy Day.
 
I somtimes play tunes on a friend's boat. Wife screams - "Turn down the engine! It's getting blasty." Music to my ears. Yeah, I have "earbuds" in and blasting the Great Lakes, Florida and some places in Texas. With plenty of good tunes and great company.

I love nice days on the water.

Favorite line - "That was incredible on that whip-around. But... My glasses went flying ($600 bucks to replace.)" For her birthday I bought her a ton of "Croakies." She still sneers at me when she puts them on the glasses as we hit the waves. Hey! Simple, but effective. Ya live and learn.

The humble,

V.

My biggest kudos to Carol Kaye who played bass on most of those tunes.
